Anyone have recommendations for good double sided tape?

Had to stick a bathroom mirror on glossy tiles but the tape I got from my local glass and mirror store seemed to last only a couple weeks before half of the mirror fell down, luckily nothing broken.

I’ve used Gorilla tape, never had any issues. A bit pricey but works for me.
Check on Amazon.

Go to an auto paint/panel-beater type supply shop and get the double sided tape that holds car badges on.

You only have one chance at placement, so be careful, but that stuff really sticks.

You get this as a DIY epoxy option..

Epoxy Floor Paint - Alcolin

Alcolin Epoxy Floor Paint | Suitable as a protective top coat for cement-based screeds and self levelling screeds. The Simple Solution.

There is also the protective top coat you apply afterwards.. depending on the floor area, looking at 3-6k not including things required to prep the floor.. preparation is going to be utterly important for this, to make sure it lasts, or it's just going to peel up..

How about these interlocking rubber tiles. Considering them for my garage as well.

Epoxy is mad expensive here. The rubber tiles I like so long as they don't move.

I almost wonder if it's just worth tiling the garage, seen it once or twice and it looks great (not super practical if your garage is a workshop etc). Seen the odd garage that is nicer than most people's kitchen.
